Bioavailability and CBD
<p>Bioavailability - the proportion of a drug or other substance which enters the circulation when introduced into the body and so is able to have an active effect.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bioavailability is a factor when taking CBD that many fail to consider. It is the actual amount that is absorbed into the bloodstream-which may differ from what is labeled on the bottle. Whether you take a sublingual tincture, edible, vape or smoke, or use CBD topically, each method has different percentages that actually are absorbed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When going to a doctor and getting a prescription, the bioavailability has already been predetermined according to the medication and what the patient needs. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most people don’t consider this only because they’ve found how much CBD works for them before factoring in how much their body actually absorbs. But if they were to actually do the math, they would find out they are actually using only a percentage of this. You still must also consider that everyone is different and higher doses may affect them slightly different than the next person.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some CBD companies will actually tell you the bioavailability of their product. But most of the time - the math is done by the consumer or already considered when choosing their CBD products.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Going to a reputable CBD distributor is the most important factor when it comes to actually distinguishing how much CBD you actually absorb. Anyone can hand you a bottle of CBD and say “Here is 1000mg of CBD.” But </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">you </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">aren’t actually getting 1000mg.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve seen the confusion to the point of where a person actually believed they were taking 1000mg of CBD per dose (it was a 1000mg bottle) but were actually getting 33.33mg. And that is a huge difference. And it’s frustrating on both ends as a seller or a consumer. Especially when a consumer has been ill informed.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">
</span></p>
<p>So let's lay it out.</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The average bottle of CBD Sublingual Tincture will be 30ML. Which is usually 30 servings.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The potency will vary. Anywhere from 100mg per bottle to 5,000mg per bottle.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A 100mg bottle that has 30 servings will equal: 3.33mg per serving</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">100÷30=3.33</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Therefore a 5000mg bottle that has 30 servings will equal: 166.66mg per serving</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">5,000÷30=166.66</span></p>
